Okay. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
<p>I realize the staggering audacity of me asking this considering I was literally just saying within the past day or two that I wouldn't want to place the onus on anyone to be a <a href="/tags/guarantor/" rel="tag">#guarantor</a> or co-signer for us on an apartment and potentially leave them liable for my debts in case I was disabled/fired/died/etc.</p><p>I think I also said it because I don't really think anyone who is *able* to co-sign safely would be *willing* to for us.</p><p>After all, I have zero proof of ability to pay -- I have a CSV file with a list of <a href="/tags/venmo/" rel="tag">#venmo</a> transactions to the hotel we were at for nine months, which total substantially more than wages I earned for that same period because most of that was covered by <a href="/tags/mutualaid/" rel="tag">#MutualAid</a> from the pockets of fellow Fediverse users.</p><p>Then there's the shame of it all -- our own families refuse to co-sign for us on anything at all. Understandably so. We both have a horrible track record.</p><p>Not to mention countless others are in much more dire circumstances than us and can manage their lives without constant panhandling to exist.</p><p>How can I expect a complete stranger to blindly co-sign someone who has very clearly indicated they're unreliable for paying bills? I could be a scammer. I could be a Nigerian prince. I could even be AI. I could be the ghost of Margaret Thatcher, and you'd have simply no idea.</p><p>If I had money, would I co-sign on an apartment for a perfect stranger with whom I'd interacted solely online? Probably not.</p><p>Whatever.</p><p>Clownish antics aside, ultimately I'm just tired. So very, very tired.</p><p>I'm tired of my <a href="/tags/mentalillness/" rel="tag">#MentalIllness</a> interfering with everything. I'm tired of not being able to care for my family.</p><p>I'm tired of seeing my partner tremble with fear of whether we'll be living out of our car just in time for the Gestapo to start rounding up the <a href="/tags/homeless/" rel="tag">#homeless</a>.</p><p>I'm tired of hotels and tyrant hotel managers. I'm tired of not knowing whether we have a place to live from day to day.</p><p>I'm tired of not having any goddamned hot water.</p><p>I know there is so much ugliness in this world and I'm being incredibly myopic about my own petty concerns, but in all fairness I'm *always* incredibly myopic with my own concerns. (It's not something I'm proud of, it just.. is)</p><p>So.. I'm while I'm immensely ashamed to be asking this -- I think our families would be mortified if they knew I was even considering this, and again understandably so..</p><p>Desperate times call for desperate measures and I'm running out of options.</p><p>Here we go...</p><p>**If anyone is of the ability, willingness and means to potentially co-sign or act as guarantor on an apartment for my partner, our border collie, and me, please DM at your earliest convenience.**</p><p>Thank you everyone.</p>

![Excerpt from First Presbyterian Church of Monterey's 18 Nov 2025 newsletter reads as follows. Names have been redacted.
"In the middle of all the normal rhythms of worship & coffee hour, we discovered a homeless gentleman asleep in our courtyard. He was cold, unwell & clearly in need….Before I could even finish assessing the situation, [a member] stepped forward without a moment of hesitation. He cleaned the space around the man & treated him with the dignity that reflects the heart of Christ. Right behind him was [another member], who quietly gathered food & whatever comfort he could offer. He helped the man get settled in Fellowship Hall so he could rest safely & regain a bit of strength out of the rain.
[Two more members] offered to drive to a motel & secure a room for the night. They did so with calm kindness, making sure everything was arranged so this man would not be left uncared for. And while all of this was happening, many of you [gave what money] you could. The total came to just over $600, enough to cover his motel stay & immediate needs. Anything left over will replenish our Deacons' benevolence fund, so the next person in crisis will not be turned away.
I stood there watching all of this unfold & felt my eyes well up. Not because it was dramatic or planned, but because it was simple, instinctive compassion. It was the gospel lived in real time. No fanfare, no spotlight, just quiet love offered to a stranger because that is what we believe God asks of us."](/proxy/post_attachment/178001/d67f18a191.jpg "Excerpt from First Presbyterian Church of Monterey's 18 Nov 2025 newsletter reads as follows.
